Things like glass are a bit outrageously expensive in the micro world, but in this world, they are too cheap.
In fact, the production of glass is not difficult, but after Wu Huang asked his third senior brother Jin Buhuan, he finally understood why glass is a luxury in the micro world. Because they completely made the raw materials wrong! It cannot be said that it was a mistake, it was just because the production of glass was a product of the alchemy process.
The alchemist who discovered the transparent crystal of glass, which should be said to be, passed on the method of obtaining glass. As a result, some alchemists discovered that the raw materials of glass can only be found in the waste slag after alchemy, and they didn't even know what the specific components were.
Compared with those alchemists, glass is just a handicraft that looks good but has little practical value. At that time, they had not invented the method of making large pieces of glass, or even now, large pieces of glass are difficult to make. Compared with refining weapons or magic props, it is really not worth the effort to refine glass. Therefore, in the long run, glass will not be popular in the micro realm.
First, the production cost is too high, second, not many alchemists are willing to spend time studying this kind of thing, third, not many people think that this thing has commercial value.
This is not to say that people in the micro-world are all fools and do not understand the use of glass in many aspects. They are just frightened by the wrong cost and feel that the practical value of this thing is far less expensive. In this case, glass will naturally not be popular in the micro-world.
When Wu Huang got the answer from his third senior brother, he saw that he was proud of his refusal to hire him to make glass for a nobleman at that time, Wu Huang rolled his eyes speechlessly. If it weren't for their preconceived idea, he thought the cost of making glass was very high, then...
Although I think this kind of thing is incredible, Wu Huang thinks it seems extremely normal. Just like the first time paper-making people, how could they know that bark, mulberry and hemp can make such exquisite paper? Although minerals like quartz are common, in the eyes of alchemists, they are simply useless road goods. In their eyes, there is only one extremely rare mineral that can only be used for refining weapons.
The quartz sand that appeared during the refining process turned into transparent glass balls without having time to discover it. They had no time to study the transparent crystal that was easy to break and could only be regarded as handicrafts. Naturally, the price of glass was no longer high.
In addition, another reason is the arrogance of the alchemists themselves. Take Wu Huang's third senior brother Jin Huan for example. He doesn't care about artifacts at all, and the status of craftsmen and alchemists is a world of difference. One is in the sky and the other is underground. In his opinion, it is an insult to him. Moreover, in Wu Huang's opinion, this reason is still somewhat reliable.
However, when Wu Huang found a glass factory and asked about the various glass situations, he found it ridiculous that he wanted to use bulletproof glass to make shields. If he didn't understand it, he was really just taking it for granted!
Although bulletproof glass is bulletproof, it is not really damaged after being shot by bullets. The bulletproof glass will still break when shot, but because it is laminated glass, there is a layer of polycarbonate fiber thermoplastic plastic inside. Even if it is broken, it will not splash like ordinary glass. However, after being broken, the defense performance of bulletproof glass will naturally decrease, and it is still irreparable.
In other words, if he wants to make a shield with bulletproof glass, it can only be a disposable consumable, a luxury and not worth the effort.
After throwing his ridiculous idea out of mind, Wu Huang looked at the characteristics of various glasses seriously.
However, after solving the problem of glass, there is another problem, that is, the glass knife. The glass knife refers to the knife used to cut glass. As we all know, the blade heads of the glass knife are made of diamonds with harder texture than glass or some kind of alloy material. The glass knife in the world is almost the same height as a human being when taken to the Micro Realm. It is really difficult to use such a large item. In the end, Wu Huang had to return to the back mountain of the Holy Academy of Weijie and ask the third senior brother for help. With the principle of making glass knife, and with the third senior brother being an alchemist, it is still easy to make a glass knife.
Wu Huang bought a lot of transparent glass and reflective glass, and in this world, people cut it into square glass with a length of about 20 centimeters wide, and then took it to the micro-boundary.
When everything was ready, Wu Huang returned to the Wu Mansion that he had bought with money, recruited Lu Lifu, and destroyed seven slaves who were regarded as waste. Wu Huang asked one of the seven slaves named Lianshan to be their captain. Because Lianshan was the most serious and responsible in doing things, he could complete the tasks assigned by Lu Lifu on time, and it was quite beautiful. Therefore, in Wu Huang's opinion, if you do well, you must be rewarded. In order to highlight their achievements, Wu Huang directly made Lianshan the deputy manager of the Wu Mansion, and Lu Lifu in charge of the Earl's Mansion, and he was still the chief manager of the Wu family.
Seeing Wu Huang summoning them, the few people were a little confused. However, when Wu Huang summoned a pile of glass from the stone bead space in front of them, they were a little shocked. It was not because Wu Huang was shocked because he was possessed by magic storage props. After all, Wu Huang, as the disciple of the Pavilion Master, owned a magic storage prop, which was normal. However, when summoning a pile of glass, they couldn't understand it.
Although they were slaves, they had also heard of the luxury of "glass" between being treated as slaves. But now, their masters actually threw out such a bunch of luxury goods in front of them. Why don't they be surprised!
"Young Master, are you going to use these glasses to decorate this wholesale store?" Lu Lifu asked with a little distress. Now he has slowly integrated into the identity of a housekeeper. While he is grateful to Wu Huang, the young master who has always taken advantage of the situation, he is also considering Wu Huang at all times.
In fact, why do you have to be so generous and bold when decorating a paper wholesale store? With the quality of the paper they sell, it is estimated that there will be a crazy grab at that time, so why waste it! It is really not worth it!
Wu Huang shook his head and said, "Paper is just one of the business. From now on, we can still do this kind of glass business. Of course, we can continue to find Wan Jiangqi to cooperate and let him do retail. We only do wholesale business." Wu Huang knew that there are much less trivial things in wholesale, although he earned much less than retail. But compared with the two, Wu Huang would rather have fewer trivial things and save some time to practice.
"Young Master means that glass can get a lot of luxury goods?" Lu Lifu asked with his eyes lit up.
Wu Huang nodded, then called Lianshan, took out a sketch from his arms and handed it to him, and said, "You go find some people, tear down the wall facing the street of this side courtyard, and then decorate it as described in this sketch." After pausing, Wu Huang said to Lianshan and his companions again: "You seven are no longer slaves. Since you have chosen to stay, you should work hard and not be as dead as you are now! Let me say another thing, without fighting spirit, people will not die. But without the courage to live, why do you still want to live? Don't you think this is dragging down your companions?"
The people of Lianshan and Wu Huang said it a little unnatural, especially the six people who were just a little by little.
"I won't say much about the rest, and I'll leave it to you here! As long as you let me see you working hard, in the future, you will be in charge of a business, or let you start your own business and do your own business, there will be no problem. I'll say that, so you can do it yourself!"
Wu Huang said, and took out two glass knives and said, "There are two swords used to separate glass..." He paused and said, "I'll show you how to use them!" He said, holding the glass knives, walked to the pile of glass, reached out to pull down a glass plate...
By the way, these glasses are at least four or five times thicker than the original glass of the micro-boundary. In the micro-boundary, this glass can be used as a room partition. Wu Huang took a piece of partition, pressed it on the glass, and then gently pulled down the edge of the partition with a glass knife, then gently pulled the glass, and with a "pop" sound, the glass broke with the scratches.
"See it! Actually, this is very simple. Who will try it?" Wu Huang handed out the glass knife.
It was still Lianshan who stood up and said, "Sir, let me try it!"
Seeing Lianshan's serious expression, Wu Huang nodded. Wu Huang still admires such a person who is willing to do things seriously.
When Wu Huang was instructing these people how to cut these glasses, he asked Lu Lifu to send someone to summon Wan Jiangqi. Now Wan Jiangqi is doing well in the paper industry in the imperial capital. Moreover, he is still wearing a halo, which makes him even more like a fish in water.
And this halo was also brought to him by Wu Huang. Who said he was Wan Jiang Yiyi's cousin? Now many people know that Wan Jiang Yiyi lives in Wu Huang's Earl's Mansion, and Wu Huang, the closed disciple of the Holy Academy Pavilion Master, and the youngest Earl in the imperial capital, I don't know how many people want to curry favor with him.
In fact, after Wu Huang became a disciple of the Pavilion Master and was named a count, many nobles had already voted for the party, but Wu Huang ignored it. He didn't have that time and no leisure. If he only chose to respond to one or two families, he would offend others who had no response. Therefore, Wu Huang simply rejected the invitations of the nobles in the name of cultivation, and asked Lu Lifu to come back to thank him one by one!
If you can't find someone to curry favor with Wu Huang, then you can curry favor with Wan Jiangqi, who may become the brother-in-law of Wu Huang, the Earl Prince!
When Wan Jiangqi saw Wu Huang pointing at a pile of glass and asking if he was interested in cooperating, he was stunned!
